Satu’s Skagen

23 Mar

Yesterday we got together at Satu’s place to work on a school project and of course this also meant food! Satu had prepared us a full three course ‘business/study’ lunch ;) which turned out to be delicious! As a starter we had a toast skagen an originally Swedish treat. What could be more delicious than shrimp mixed with cream and sour cream topped on a slice of freshly toasted bread! (recipe hopefully to follow from Satu)

As our main course we ate a student friendly casserole. Satu first fried some chicken pieces with garam masala. Then put the chicken in an oven dish with cream, sour cream, cauliflower, broccoli and topped the whole set with generous amounts of cheese :) The dish turned out really good. The chicken remained juicy in the creamy sauce, the veg was cooked yet stayed crisp and the cheese melted into stringy cheesy goodness. I’ll definitely be making this dish at home and I hope Satu will share the recipe on the blog :)

Dessert was perfect with spring and summer on the way. Satu made a mango lassi (yogurt drink) in her blender and it was a great finish to the meal. My only complaint of yesterdays lunch was that we were doing work all through out the meal :( such a shame :P

I had to rush of straight after the meal for my theory classes. Nope I’m not taking any extra classes in school… I’m FINALLY getting my drivers license (hopefully)! I’m going to have to sign up for the actual driving lessons soon. People of Tampere be wary I’ll be behind the wheel and dangerous in no time :)

sweet & sour weekend

20 Mar

I haven’t visited my home for a couple of weeks, so on this Friday I took a car and drove to the countryside near Lahti. It’s so weird to go in the middle of forest where is so quiet and peaceful, because I now live next to a train track and there is always noice in the background. When I go home once or twice a month, it is usually free time for me; mum cooks and all I have to do is to eat and sleep and eat and sleep.. and that is exactly what I did. On Friday we ate some meatballs with mashed potatoes and green salad. Very simple, but it’s a fact that mums do make the BEST meatballs ever. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos..

On Saturday one of my friends from Lahti came to spend the evening with me. I made her a cake for a suprise, which I filled with blueberries and CREAM. Seriously, there is nothing better that cream.. well, maybe bacon. We opened a bottle of sparkling wine too, Elysée N:o 1 (no need to tell my parents where did that bottle disappeared..).

The weekend was very nice, relaxing and fun. Next week is going to be awesome too; I will make a nice meal for us bacon addicts on Wednesday and Laura will have her cool bacon party on Thursday.. Can’t wait for it!
